On Monday, August 17, the Football House hosted a seminar for delegates and security officers of the Ukrainian Football Association for the 2020/2021 season.

Officials of the matches were greeted at the beginning of the event by the first vice-president of UAF Vadym Kostyuchenko, who wished health to the audience, given the dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic, and expressed hope that the 2020/2021 season in Ukraine will begin and end exclusively on sports .

"Everyone knows how difficult the situation was with the end of the season in the Premier League and First League championships. A number of games were in question, as some teams simply could not play due to illnesses of players, coaches and staff at COVID-19.

We understand that the next season will be difficult in terms of organization and holding. We are waiting for the fans to return to the stadiums. We plan to obtain permission from government agencies for the presence of 25% of football fans from the number of seats in domestic arenas, depending on the sanitary and epidemiological situation in each of the regions.

I appeal to you as the leading officials of the matches: compliance with the requirements of the UAF medical protocol by all participants of the football event is critical so that the coronavirus epidemic does not prevent the return to the stadiums of a full-fledged football holiday and real emotions of passion and wrestling. .
